Divorce paper service for self-filers
Representing yourself? I serve your filed petition for dissolution of marriage, the clerk-issued summons, and related papers on the other spouse, then complete a detailed return of service for you to file.
Florida Certified Process Server
Filing your own divorce?
Your papers still have to be served.
I serve divorce and other family-court papers on individuals throughout Citrus County and the Fifth Judicial Circuit: promptly, professionally, and discreetly.
Citrus • Hernando • Lake • Marion • Sumter
Services
Family matters only — I serve individuals, not businesses or LLCs.
Custody, time-sharing & paternity
Service of papers in parenting plan, time-sharing, and paternity cases on the other parent.
Child support & modifications
Service of child support papers and supplemental petitions to modify custody, time-sharing, or support.
Family-court summonses & subpoenas
Summonses and witness subpoenas in family cases, served on individuals.
Courtesy delivery between spouses
A neutral, third-party hand-delivery of papers from one spouse to the other when both sides prefer a calm, friendly handoff. A courtesy delivery is not formal legal service of process.
Can't find them? Locating included
If you don't know your spouse's current address, I can run a search to find a current address for service. Locating is part of serving your papers only; I don't offer background checks or standalone people searches.

About
Elizabeth Brown Guilfoil
Owner & Florida Certified Process Server
I started 4ServeNow to help people in my community, especially those handling their own divorce, get their papers served correctly, respectfully, and without added stress. Based right here in Citrus County, I handle every family matter with care and discretion.
I am not an attorney and cannot give legal advice. For questions about your case, forms, or deadlines, please contact the clerk's office, the court's family self-help office, or an attorney.
Frequently asked questions
Can I serve my own spouse?
No. In Florida, a party to the case can't serve the papers themselves. Service has to be made by someone authorized, such as the sheriff or a certified process server.
What do I need before you can serve?
Your petition must already be filed with the Clerk of Court, and you need a summons issued by the clerk. Send me copies of those papers along with the address where the person can be found and, if possible, a description or photo.
What if I don't know where my spouse lives?
Locating is included with service. If you don't have a current address, I can run a search to find one so your papers can be served. I don't offer background checks or people searches on their own.
Do you serve businesses or LLCs?
No. I handle family matters only and serve individuals, not businesses, LLCs, or corporations.
Do you serve on Sundays?
No. Florida law does not allow service of process on Sunday unless a judge has specifically ordered it.
What's a courtesy delivery?
A courtesy delivery is a neutral, friendly hand-delivery of papers from one spouse to the other, often in cases where both spouses agree. It is not formal service of process. Whether it fits your situation is a question for the court's self-help office or an attorney.
What areas do you cover?
Citrus County and the rest of Florida's Fifth Judicial Circuit: Hernando, Lake, Marion, and Sumter counties.
Can you help me fill out my divorce forms?
No. I'm not an attorney and can't give legal advice or help choose or complete forms. The Citrus County Family Self-Help Office (by appointment), the Clerk of Court, or an attorney can help with that.
How much does it cost?
